Wow this thread was started over a year ago!
1. We were tired working so hard in the UK with little to show for it
2. My husband suffers in the cold which is not good for a gardener
3. We wanted a better work / life balance - more life less work

4. Visited Oz in 2002 and fell in love in love with it - the weather, the open spaces, the friendly people, the opportunities
5. Erm.... I think I've covered everything....
Regards,
Karen
